But more than likely, you’ve seen Jane Lynch sing as the villainous Sue Sylvester on the Fox show “Glee.”

Now a different, less tyrannical side of the busy Golden Globe- and Emmy-winner comes to Long Beach with her own comedy musical called “See Jane Sing” at the Carpenter Performing Arts Center on Oct. 3.

“It’s fast paced — you won’t know what hit you,” promised the actress, singer and comedian during an early morning interview shortly before she headed to one of her many other day jobs (she was heading to the set of the CBS Show “Angel From Hell,” where she usually starts her day at 6 a.m.).

Besides filming her new CBS comedy, where she plays a guardian angel, and winning another Emmy earlier this month for hosting NBC’s “Hollywood Game Night,” Lynch is on tour through June with her cabaret-style show. The musical mixes American standards, which range from 1920s ragtime songs to 1980s pop tunes, with comedy and a couple of friends.

“I have a terrific five-piece band, and I’m joined by Kate Flannery, who played Meredith the drunk in ‘The Office,’ ” Lynch said. “We’re very good friends. We’ve been singing together for decades.”

Tim Davis, the music director for “Glee,” also joins them onstage.

“I’m out there alone for a little bit,” Lynch said, “but for the most part it’s a team effort, and we really play well off each other, and we bounce off each other well.”

Lynch doesn’t really have a discernible theme for her show and bluntly tells her audience at the start to “join me on a journey of songs that have very little to do with each other.”

“Every number in the show, every song is a song that I love,” she said.

But Lynch isn’t just singing her favorite songs. She’s going back to her first love: the stage.

The Chicago native got her start in theater and comedy and was part of Chicago’s Second City improv group early in her career.

In 2013 she made her Broadway debut in the revival of “Annie.” It was after that experience that the theater bug re-bit — hard.

“I was reinfected with the bug, and you cannot keep me off the stage. I love it and I’m glad to be back,” she said. “It was my first love, and it’s my most enduring love.”

Shortly after “Annie,” Lynch was offered four nights at a cabaret space in New York called 54 Below. That’s when she created an act that mixes songs she likes with live music, onstage banter and even a number that could give her some street cred to go along with her Emmys.

“We do a little Nicki Minaj rap at one point for the kids. That’s a lot of fun to watch these three very white people doing a beautiful little rap song,” Lynch said with a laugh, referring to the rapper’s song “Anaconda.”

While they have the rapping part down, don’t expect Lynch and her crew to copy any of Minaj’s moves.

“I’m not good at everything, so I’m only doing the things I’m good at. So that being said, there’s no dancing in this show,” she quipped.

Instead, Lynch said, “we do move about clumsily but with great confidence.”
